Black Point Fissures

2013.06.22

Day One Hundred and Thirty Six. And, Day 2 of the second annual Northern California road trip with my dear old dad. To be completely honest, I only found out that Black Point existed because I was scrolling around Google Maps looking for other places to visit since we couldn't spend all day at the South Tufas of Mono Lake. After a whole lot of googleing, we decided that going up Black Point was to be the hike of the day ... and boy was it worth it! Despite taking the long way around (due to some very poor "maps" at the parking lot and the total absence of any trails) and nearly dying in the midday sun, the fissures were definitely worth the abnormally cumbersome hike!
